Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 207 The Little Devil and Angers, School Board Member Lu Mingfei (8k)

The weapon-refining pavilion has seven underground floors.
"It finally worked."

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them.

"The Shadow Warrior technique, the consciousness splitting method, according to alchemical theory, is to link the pathways of the soul and the body, split off a second consciousness, and then use an alchemical chip to achieve ultra-long-distance biological signal conversion and connection."

"In some respects, it is similar to the theory of quantum communication."

During this time, Lu Mingfei extensively studied Herzog's legacy, the work of the mad scientist who had attempted to understand the technology from a scientific perspective.

Lu Mingfei had to admit that the close connection between the main body and the shadow warrior did indeed conform to the three principles of uncertainty, measurement collapse, and non-cloning; each person's mental characteristics were unique.

Alchemy Tool: Shadow Warrior

[Forger: Lu Mingfei]

[Brief Description: A brilliant product of the Shadow Warrior Project, its body, conforming to biological rules, naturally possesses powerful elemental perception capabilities, making it particularly suitable for research on the 'water' element, and capable of completing a series of fundamental tasks.]

[Evaluation: Infusing it gives it new life.]

“Shadow warriors created using proper alchemy are different from those defective products.”

Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze and began to examine the burly body in front of him from top to bottom. The body, which had been transformed beyond recognition by him, was originally nearly three meters tall, but in the process of continuous refining, it was reduced to less than 1.8 meters in overall size.

As that wisp of 'spirit' was slowly infused.

The shadow warrior's eyes gradually began to gleam.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Lu Mingfei and the shadow warrior suddenly spoke in unison.

After examining the puppet in front of him, which lacked a true 'face', Lu Mingfei spoke again, "Who are you?"

“I am Leviathan, and I am also Lu Mingfei.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet suddenly began to tremble violently all over.

"No, you are Shadow Warrior Number One."

Lu Mingfei was not in a hurry at all. With the help of that wisp of consciousness, he easily suppressed the remaining instincts of his body according to the procedure. This is probably the principle behind the saying that even a centipede with a thousand legs does not die.

The puppet gradually calmed down.

The faceless face revealed a chilling smile: "Yes, I am Shadow Warrior Number One."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Unlike Herzog, he wasn't so twisted as to draw an alchemical golem with a face identical to his own. With the final activation step complete, he couldn't wait to begin experimenting with parallel thought processes.

hum-

An invisible spiritual link connected Lu Mingfei and Shadow Warrior No. 1 through their thoughts.

Lu Mingfei quickly experienced firsthand the wonders of Leviathan's body, the king of the ocean and water.

It felt as if the sky and the earth were filled with abundant water elements, and the whole person was living in a water vapor, feeling moist.

But that's not the key point.

Lu Mingfei tried to mobilize his spirit and thinking.

In an instant, the multiple thoughts of the two consciousnesses overlapped and ran rapidly. It was as if the movement of all things in the world fell into his eyes. Lu Mingfei closed his eyes slightly and recalled a dragon script in his mind. An invisible towering tree seemed to take root and sprout in his mind. Every silver leaf fluttering and every branch trembling was clear in his understanding.

This is the effect of the brain's computing power being multiplied after parallel thinking.

"No, it doesn't stop there."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously held his breath. He found that as he concentrated, everything about Longwen Tree in his mind underwent many changes again. The 'trajectories' that had not yet happened and were about to happen formed a predictive picture. When he looked into the distance, he could see more and more overlapping tree shadows, like a future scene of branches and leaves spreading in this space as time flowed.

Dragon Pattern has completed the leap from three dimensions to four dimensions.

Such a complex and magnificent pattern naturally formed in Lu Mingfei's mind, as if everything was meant to be this way.

Lu Mingfei's eyes had already involuntarily turned into a magnificent gold, the golden light shimmering slightly.
Continuously absorb the knowledge contained in these changes.

In just a moment, Lu Mingfei's mastery of 'Word of Power: Senluo' improved to a new level, and his sensitivity to mental power increased accordingly.

For targets with weak 'spirit', even without the alchemical matrix of the 'Memory Stone', Lu Mingfei can now directly invade their memory projections, make modifications within them, and, like Xia Mi, complete targeted memory blocking.

"What was the original form of all things in the universe?"

After a long while, Lu Mingfei emerged from this strange state and let out a long breath.

We are increasingly looking forward to the next phase of research on the Dragon Script rules.

goo goo-

He felt hungry again after a long time.

It wasn't just his hunger, but also the hunger of Shadow Warrior One.

……

These past two days have been dedicated to the final stages of the Shadow Warriors arc, and the scenes have been somewhat bloody and brutal. Lu Mingfei didn't let his alchemy assistant stay here any longer, thus depriving her of the joy of eating grapes and fruit whenever she wanted.

I grabbed some high-energy food and ate it to my heart's content, feeling like I could still fight on.

Leviathan's physical structure allowed him to utilize food at an extremely high rate, which destined him to become a tireless perpetual motion machine-like ox or horse after death.

“The effect of parallel thinking with dual thinking is already quite remarkable. Perhaps we can try parallel thinking with triple, quadruple or even more levels of thinking.”

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Mingfei wiped his mouth and fell into deep thought.

Unlike Herzog's indiscriminate segmentation of thought, Lu Mingfei needs to take a refined approach. His research objects are not superficial things like 'tea ceremony,' 'flower arrangement,' or 'antiques,' but the complex essence of dragon texts, which is a thousand times more intricate.

The most outrageous thing is that Lu Mingfei noticed a problem during the debugging and review process: apart from the increased thinking speed brought to him by parallel thinking, the body of Leviathan, which was created by the first generation of dragon species, was even slightly less sensitive to dragon runes than Lu Mingfei himself.

"Is it because the dragon rune 'Word of Power: Senluo' involves the element of 'spirit,' or is there some other reason?"

Perhaps no human being has ever had the learning opportunities he had…

In short, Lu Mingfei believes that if he wants to continue making Shadow Warriors and improve parallel efficiency, he absolutely cannot compromise on the choice of the base material, otherwise his supercar may still be dragged down.

Creating a body of this caliber from scratch is obviously unrealistic... mainly because I don't want to spend my own money, and besides, simply piling up 'bones, blood, and horns' simply cannot meet the requirements for sensitivity to each element.

They wanted to bolster their Shadow Warrior legion and expand their research team.

The only option is to find other dragons as soon as possible and get them to contribute.

Lu Mingfei has tasted the sweetness of success and it's hard for him to stop.

Three days later, Lu Mingfei had fully adapted to the parallel operation of the two consciousnesses within two different bodies, and the main consciousness and the secondary consciousness would no longer interfere with each other.

Lu Mingfei shifted Long Wen's research from 'Senluo' to 'Judgment'.
Once he delved into this dimension, he realized that his previous understanding of those dragon runes was too superficial, and the mapped alchemical matrix clearly had room for improvement.

The research was long and arduous; time passed unnoticed in the mountains.

It was late June.
The college entrance examination in another world has long since ended. Calculating the dates, the first batch of students from all over the country will soon arrive to register for a short summer semester. In addition, representatives from the other forces that the orthodox school has made extensive connections with around the world over the past six months will also gather in this ancient city to visit and learn.

On a summer afternoon, as the sunlight grew brighter, Lu Mingfei strolled out of the Refining Pavilion.

Let Shadow Warrior Number One stay here to comprehend the Dragon Rune Rules. Arrange for someone to prepare food and keep it at the door so that he can get it whenever he is hungry and sleep where he is tired.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Shadow Warrior will most likely spend his entire life in his birthplace.

The orthodox school area has long been renovated. The academy buildings used for teaching alchemy, that is, the classrooms, are surrounded by an antique courtyard. A large patch of bright sunlight shines down, and several green vines are entwined on an old locust tree of unknown age. The tender vines meander and climb along the thick branches, sprouting a few new green shoots, as if exuding vitality.

Inside the classroom, a girl with beautiful features casually tied her hair up.

Sitting opposite her was a serious-looking young boy holding a sharp sculpting pen, teaching her four ways to draw a basic alchemical circuit on a practice board.

The girl occasionally showed a troubled and clumsy expression, so much so that the latter had to teach her how to draw the key details step by step, her long chestnut hair, which smelled of flowers, fell on the boy's face.

"Magic Mechanics is a very practical subject. Whether it's logistics personnel, researchers, or frontline law enforcement teams, they will all focus on assessing the level of mastery of this subject. The textbook follows the system of Kassel College and is a compulsory subject."

Nuwa explained.

The Zhou family patriarch had been quite busy with official business recently, but upon hearing that Lu Mingfei had "emerged from seclusion," he rushed over immediately, accompanied by Lu Mingfei's personal secretary, Su Xiaoqiang. His demeanor was no different from that of a leader inspecting work.

"Chu Zihang is a top student at Kassel College and volunteered to be a teaching assistant for this course. The course hasn't officially started yet, but... you know what I mean."

A knowing smile spread across Nuwa's face as she pointed to Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, who were sitting very close together inside the room.

During this period, rumors circulated among the gossip group that the two were clearly in love, constantly exchanging handmade gifts, followed by several candlelight dinners, and their relationship quickly heated up to the point where they had to walk side by side... and occasionally even hold hands.

Upon learning that this unexpected enemy was actually his childhood sweetheart, even Susie, who was "desperate to die," had no choice but to surrender. Susie and Chu Zihang had only known each other for less than a year... how could she possibly defeat him?

Not to mention they've already held hands, his progress is miles ahead of hers. The only bright spot is that Chu Zihang has recently been studying baking, and occasionally he'll ask her to taste and critique his baked goods...

Lu Mingfei didn't disturb the two who were pretending to study by holding hands, and instead, with a hint of jealousy, he picked up their two soft little hands and swung his arms around.

Damn it, so you're the only one with a girlfriend, huh!
Having finally achieved his work goals to some extent, he came out to relax, not to watch others show off their love.

Landscape pavilions, clear lake pavilions.

Lu Mingfei explored the entire ancient palace complex and also registered at the academy, but he probably wouldn't stay for long.

After adjusting their mindset, they went to the guesthouse outside the school and met Old Deng, who had arrived in Tang City yesterday according to the message from Nuwa.

"Hi, Mingfei! Long time no see!"

Angers leaned lazily against the antique carved railings and pillars, his sharp eyes hidden by the non-reflective lenses of his tortoiseshell-framed glasses. With a cigar in his left hand and a cup of tea in his right, he looked exactly like a retired cadre from a sanatorium.

"Haha, I've been studying diligently these past two days. I didn't know Principal Angers was here. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

Lu Mingfei walked over with a big laugh and shook hands with Angers warmly.

His gaze swept over the old man's head without making a sound... Sure enough, the old man had not been possessed by the Dragon King at all. His disappearance some time ago was probably just because he wanted to play the role of the riddle teller.

It conforms to stereotypes.

The two of them gripped each other's hands tightly.
“It’s good to study; young people should study more,” Angers said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei let go of her hand and deliberately complained, "Where have you been making your fortune all this time? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Angers immediately burst into hearty laughter.
"I didn't get rich, I was just wandering around. I'm getting old and can't stay still, so I traveled around Europe and then went to Japan for a while."

As he spoke, Angers felt a chill run down his spine.
After not seeing him for a long time, he found that Lu Mingfei's aura seemed completely different from last time. Even when he was empty-handed, he gave him a dangerous feeling of sharpness and ruthlessness.

"Oh, that's quite comfortable."

Lu Mingfei wasn't surprised, especially by the latter; he had received a message from Yuan Zhisheng at the beginning of the month.

It is claimed that Angers has secretly arrived in Japan.

I originally thought that Angers was there because of the recent high-profile change of course of the Kassel College Japan branch, but in fact, he did not make a formal appearance in front of the Snake-Headed Eight Family, but secretly met with a certain ramen master.

Then the ramen chef turned around and sold all the information about Angers.

Angers scratched his gray hair.

"Oh, by the way, where's your boyfriend, Su?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow, not expecting Angers to bring this up on his own initiative.

"I'd like to ask you, Principal Angers, why did you suddenly arrange for a professor to send an admission invitation to Su Xiaoqiang?"

Lu Mingfei added, "Don't try to evade the issue. I know who Binhai's recruitment fair is targeting. They've explained everything clearly."

"Yeah... I feel like she might have some talent."

Angers gave an awkward smile.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then asked in a strange tone, "You really think... Su Xiaoqiang has talent?"

"Uh, no?"

Angers looked bewildered, but his clear eyes were like those of a college student.

Lu Mingfei didn't want to keep going in circles with him, so he simply used his mental power to simulate the effect of 'Word of Power: Senluo', and his eyes instantly lit up with golden light.

Angers looked dazed for a moment, then instantly snapped back to reality.

“Mingfei, you…”

Unbeknownst to him, Angers' voice had changed as he gazed at the golden light that suddenly blazed in those eyes.
The old man's cynical smile vanished, replaced by a stern gaze.

“I’m sorry, Principal Angers, I think you probably know something, but since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I’ll have to figure it out myself. After all, Su Xiaoqiang is my girlfriend, and I can’t let you suddenly set your sights on her without telling me why.”

Lu Mingfei said softly,

The golden light in his eyes gradually dimmed, but his face still wore a friendly smile, and he used the honorific "you" as always.

Angers stared at Lu Mingfei in a daze, remaining silent for a long time.

Given his control over his mental power, he was naturally able to sense what had just happened, and according to his status, he should have responded to such an 'offense' with swift and decisive action.

This wasn't difficult for Angers; Lu Mingfei was extremely close to him at the moment, all he needed to do was unleash 'Time Zero'...

“I have no interest in your secrets,” Lu Mingfei said slowly.

"But I hope you can be more frank about this issue. Just like last time when we exchanged information about the Snake Clan and the White King, isn't sincerity the foundation of our cooperation?"

Angers' brows furrowed deeply, and a hint of something indescribable appeared in his eyes.

As a 130-year-old living fossil who has been active on the dragon battlefield for over a century, his understanding of dragons is far beyond that of ordinary hybrids or even common forces. Even the textbook he personally edited, "Dragon Genealogy," contains only a tiny fraction of the knowledge he possesses.

During his trip to Italy, Angers had his first face-to-face meeting with the venerable elders of the Gattuso family at the historic Pantheon, during which his knowledge base was once again greatly expanded…

But those secrets, or rather speculations, are on a completely different level compared to what Lu Mingfei mentioned.

but……

Since Guderian was sent to the coast, it was precisely because he chose this path that he did so, wasn't it?
Lu Mingfei has already passed this test, so what is there to hesitate about?

After a long silence, I was torn between my inner thoughts and my own.

Angers took a deep drag on his cigar, exhaled a heavy smoke ring, and his voice became somewhat weary.
"Okay, you're absolutely right."

"Su Xiaoqiang has not shown any talent."

"However, I've seen people before who could rewrite their bloodline..."

……

Angers has seen the little devil.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised by this news.

Unexpectedly, Angers had only seen the little devil many years ago, and since then he could only occasionally contact him through other people's channels, but he never found his true form in the real world again until the beginning of this year when he noticed a clue.

"Within the Arctic Circle?"

Lu Mingfei repeated the location.

“It’s possible, there is such a possibility.” Angers suddenly sighed. “Speaking of which, although I haven’t seen him for a long time, we’ve always maintained a fairly close relationship.”

"Do you know the board of directors of Kassel College? The board of directors is exactly the same as the old secret society's elders. There is a mysterious board member who only invests money but never attends meetings or makes a statement. He is one of his people. The only time he exercised his power in the past was by voting to pass the draft bill that 'the power of the absent party shall be exercised by the principal.' This is equivalent to being on my side, which is why I am able to have the upper hand in most board meetings."

"Potato Chip Girl..." The name naturally flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.

The other board members were unaware of this mysterious person's identity. The current council of elders of the Secret Party only had seven seats, which largely depended on the amount of 'investment'. This person invested an unimaginable amount of money every year, yet over the years he handed over the power of the board of directors to Angers.

Indeed, the secret cooperation between Lu Mingze and Angers has been going on for many years. The Huanya Group, which Su Enxi built in Binhai, is one of the bases established through cooperation between the two parties. Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao, was a representative of Angers' side. As the same master of 'Time Zero', the two were originally the closest master and disciple.

After the school board exercised its power to "cancel" Chu Tianjiao's name from the Execution Department's register, Chu Tianjiao stayed in Binhai under the pretext of "carrying out a long-term secret mission." Later, he was "canceled a second time" by Odin, and only then did he completely fade from the world's sight.

As for the so-called mission, Lu Mingfei now understands very well that it is the 'Little White Rabbit Project' which is closely related to him.

Until the beginning of this year, the little white rabbit mutated on the spot, and all plans were disrupted.

The room fell silent.

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei spoke in a slightly strange tone:
"So, does that mean we've actually been on the same side for a long time?"

At this moment, he finally understood that it was the potato chip girl who used her amazing wisdom to deduce that clue—and then, perhaps under the little devil's instructions, she communicated his situation to Angers.

That's why Angers made arrangements in advance at the end of March and the beginning of April, when Lu Mingfei was still in Japan!

After the incident, Chip Girl immediately chose to run away.

Afraid of getting beaten!
Sure enough, they're all old hands. Luckily, I, Old Lu, am no ordinary person either, otherwise I would have been completely fooled by them.

But even if you can run away from the monk, can you run away from the temple...? A strange smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Mingfei's lips.

Angers, of course, was unaware of Lu Mingfei's thoughts, and simply nodded: "Of course."

"You have great talent, that's what that person told me. In fact, according to the original plan, after you enter Kassel College, there will be senior professionals to guide you and let you gradually become familiar with dragon slaying."

In recent years, Angers has also been very tiring.

Since things had come to this point, he simply revealed everything.

"But now, you obviously don't need it anymore, you're awesome!"

Angers applauded sincerely, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You're the best!"

“What did I do that made me so great?” Lu Mingfei sighed, “Can you stop with this? To be honest, your admissions skills are not even as good as Professor Guderian’s.”

Angers scratched his head: "Anyway, this is what I have to say. Even without my help, I am proud of how you have grown to where you are today. We are all on the side of humanity... After all, you are still a newcomer and you have already single-handedly killed a dragon king."

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "There are quite a few heroes in history who have killed the Dragon King. Anyway, even if you kill it once, it won't affect anything. They can still cocoon themselves. Besides, I think you have overestimated the Dragon King species. Some Dragon Kings are born to be killed by humans."

"it's not true."

Upon hearing this, Angers immediately shook his head: "You are different. According to him, the dragon king you killed is basically equivalent to being killed. You are the chosen dragon slayer."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that after killing Leviathan, in addition to experience points, he also gained [Authority].

"Uh? What exactly did that thing say?" Lu Mingfei asked suspiciously.

That's exactly what was said.

Angers shrugged. "Of course, I don't quite understand why something like the 'Dragon Slayer' exists, but in any case, you've already killed the King of the Ocean and Water, that's a fact, so just support him."

"After all, even if the Dragon King can still actually enter a state of slumber, it's still better than doing nothing at all..."

Lu Mingfei suddenly sensed a deep sense of desolation and loneliness in Anger's tone.

Angers sighed again.

He immediately grabbed Lu Mingfei and sat him down, then began to loudly complain.

The Secret Society was having an increasingly difficult time. Not only was the Orthodox movement expanding rapidly, causing the Secret Society to significantly shrink its scope of intervention, but the most crucial factor was his private meeting with Frost.

Two political rivals who were usually at odds decided, after their meeting at the Bank of Rome, to prioritize resolving the internal problems of the Secret Party at this critical juncture of external threats.

After all, no matter how impressive the external victory, if the internal situation is riddled with problems, all the achievements will only benefit those with ill intentions.

Even though Frost always unconditionally defended the interests of the Gattuso family, he had to admit the importance of this action, since he was loyal to the family, not the elders or any particular individual.

Following that meeting at the Hall of Greens, Frost and Angers reached an agreement that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Secret Service would reopen a high-level internal review of the Greenland Sea incident that occurred years ago, based on the Chen family affair.

This proposal will be formally raised at the next board meeting.

After hearing Angers' remarks, which were tantamount to 'leaking secrets'...

Lu Mingfei was secretly alarmed, his expression becoming increasingly puzzled: "...Why are you telling me this?"

"You must be in contact with them, right?"

Angers shrugged: "They are unwilling to step forward and exercise their powers as school board members, but you have already stepped forward, and the school board seat should rightfully be inherited by you. As a school board member, you should still have the right to know this."

"Oh, right."

"Remember to vote for us when the time comes, as a way of repaying me for helping you suppress the news about the Japanese branch, how about that?"

Lu Mingfei's face immediately darkened: "...I haven't even said I'd attend your board meeting yet!"

……

This was a rare instance of Old Deng speaking frankly.

The storm he stirred up in Japan has been quelled with Angers' help.

After much deliberation, Lu Mingfei did not completely reject Angers' proposal.

Kassel College, one of the strongholds of the Peruvian Party.

Lu Mingfei's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, and his foundation is even more profound, so there's no harm in making a trip there.

It's a good opportunity to see what the atmosphere is like on an American campus, and to meet Caesar Gattuso, who could theoretically be an ally.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei seemed very interested, Angers readily gave a brief introduction to the structure of the Gattuso family.

Of course—in Angers' own words, 'for reference only'.

"What exactly is the relationship between Frost, Caesar, Pompeii... and what is the situation with the entire Gattuso family and the Council of Elders?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ponder.

He never imagined that one day he would step onto the campus of Kassel College again, but not as a student, but as a member of the board of trustees.

"What's this? A double top-tier figure, both orthodox and secret society?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

After a moment, suppressing his gossipy nature, Lu Mingfei led Angers away from the guesthouse and headed towards the girls' dormitory...

This was Angers' strong demand.

Unexpected, yet reasonable.

Angers, an old man who has lived since the last century, and the retired emperor of the Snake Clan are outwardly irreconcilable enemies, but in reality, they are quite good friends.

The existence of so-called White King bloodlines, holy remains, and royal blood was no secret to Angers. What he didn't know was simply the location of the divine kingdom of Takamagahara.

Besides wanting to see Lu Mingfei, Angers also planned to see just how beautiful the old man's daughter, whom he had been praising so much, really was, and whether she looked similar to Lu Mingfei's description...

"Eriyi!"

From a distance, Lu Mingfei waved.

Having received advance notice, Zero had already brought Erii downstairs.

For the past two months, Erii has been studying intensively, not about dragon civilization, but about the common sense that a 'human' should know.

In short, Lu Mingfei believes that before taking the courses, it is necessary to help her develop correct and healthy values ​​so that she can get along normally with her classmates.

The results are naturally plentiful. Nowadays, Erii no longer uses anime terms like 'A-laws' or 'Celestial Being,' and she has a basic understanding of concepts such as the world, the nation, and human society.

It's just... I always feel that her feelings for her good friend 'Sakura' seem to have changed a bit.

Da da da.

Erii was wearing dark jeans and a white cotton T-shirt today, and she ran quickly toward Lu Mingfei.

Then, like a flying squirrel, it leaped into the air—

Lu Mingfei caught the girl who jumped into his arms like a swallow throwing itself into his arms, and he could clearly feel the girl's fragrance, warmth, and slight trembling.

It seemed to carry a joy that came from the bottom of their hearts.

The book says that a day apart feels like three autumns, which probably describes Erii's feelings in this situation.

"Eri, come down first."

Lu Mingfei gently patted her back.

Erii nodded obediently, slowly sliding off Lu Mingfei's body like a sloth, her every move exuding a childlike innocence.

Humans... probably all have their own seven emotions and six desires.

Lu Mingfei has no intention of keeping pets. He brought Erii away from the Snake-Headed Eight Family in the hope that she could become a real 'person', and now she is doing so step by step... which can only be considered a good thing.

How long does it take for a little girl to grow into a big girl?
Lu Mingfei has no relevant experience.

Physiologically speaking, Erii is a grown-up girl, but he finds it hard to refuse her hugs every time he visits her.

Under the guidance of a proper teacher and another mentor who provides practical guidance in daily life,
She has been learning how to express her emotions, and her beautiful face is no longer as calm and still as an old monk, but has become more 'human'.

Erii looked at the old man following behind Lu Mingfei with curiosity.

"Please excuse my rudeness, Principal Angers. She is Erii."

Lu Mingfei introduced himself with a hint of pride, looking every bit the part of a true guardian.

"Hello."

Angers greeted him politely, as if he hadn't seen anything at all.

In fact, while peeling a braised egg for him, the ramen chef had already boasted about how ruthless his son-in-law was.

Although this son-in-law might have a slightly shared nature...

Erii held up her little notebook and said, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Hello."

Angers greeted Erii again, but this time it was directed at her back.

Zero nodded in response with indifference.

The two of them certainly knew each other.
